This version is similar to math.CO/0210113. We've changed Conjectures 1.1 and 1.2 so that they cover arbitrary graphs(digraphs). Let G be an arbitrary graph(digraph). Then - in polynomial time - either an algorithm obtains a hamilton…

We define a range of new coarse geometric invariants based on various graph-theoretic measures of complexity for finite graphs, including: treewidth, pathwidth, cutwidth and bandwidth. We prove that, for bounded degree graphs, these…

Determining whether two graphs are structurally identical is a fundamental problem with applications spanning mathematics, computer science, chemistry, and network science. Despite decades of study, graph isomorphism remains a challenging…

Graphs that are squares under the gluing algebra arise in the study of homomorphism density inequalities such as Sidorenko's conjecture. Recent work has focused on these homomorphism density applications. This paper takes a new perspective…

We consider a generalization of finding a homomorphism from an input digraph $G$ to a fixed digraph $H$, HOM($H$). In this setting, we are given an input digraph $G$ together with a list function from $G$ to $2^H$. The goal is to find a…

Many natural combinatorial quantities can be expressed by counting the number of homomorphisms to a fixed relational structure. For example, the number of 3-colorings of an undirected graph $G$ is equal to the number of homomorphisms from…

In this paper we introduce a novel polynomial-time algorithm to compute graph invariants based on the modified random walk idea on graphs. However not proved to be a full graph invariant by now, our method gives the right answer for the…

In this paper, we present a constructive and proof-relevant development of graph theory, including the notion of maps, their faces, and maps of graphs embedded in the sphere, in homotopy type theory. This allows us to provide an elementary…

In this paper we develop three characterizations for isomorphism of graphs. The first characterization is obtained by associating certain bitableaux with the graphs. We order these bitableaux by suitably defined lexicographic order and…

This article deals with homomorphisms of oriented graphs with respect to push equivalence. Here homomorphisms refer to arc preserving vertex mappings, and push equivalence refers to the equivalence class of orientations of a graph $G$ those…

For each graph we construct graded cohomology groups whose graded Euler characteristic is the chromatic polynomial of the graph. We show the cohomology groups satisfy a long exact sequence which corresponds to the well-known…

We prove a spectral decomposition theorem for a well-known self-similar graph, for some finite graphs which are quotients of this graph and for a compactification of it.
